Job description
Profound is the fastest-growing AI marketing platform, used by 15% of the Fortune 500 including Comcast, Estée Lauder, and Walmart, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. It is where marketing teams do the work: research, briefs, content, campaigns, reporting, all in one place, alongside agents that carry the load with them.
Built on 2B+ real user prompts and growing, Profound’s data shows you what people ask AI and what the models say back. Profound's AI Marketer joins that data with deep context about our customers to find the opportunities worth acting on, and then puts agents to work: automating reporting, drafting content, auditing pages for readability, running competitive research. It measures what works and gets better every day.
As an iOS Engineer at Profound, you will build and own the native mobile experience that brings our AI Marketer to our customers' pockets. You will work closely with design, backend, and product to ship a fast, polished app that gives marketers visibility into their AI presence anywhere. This is a foundational role: you will set the technical direction for iOS at Profound from the ground up.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and ship new features for Profound's native iOS app, end to end
- Establish the architecture, tooling, and engineering standards for the iOS codebase
- Build fast, reliable interfaces for real-time data, dashboards, and reporting on mobile
- Partner with backend engineers to design APIs that serve mobile use cases well
- Work closely with design to translate product requirements into polished, native experiences
- Own app performance, stability, and release quality, including crash rates and load times
- Implement push notifications, background refresh, and other native platform capabilities
- Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and App Store releases
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable Swift code
- Collaborate with product and customers to identify what mobile experiences matter most
- Stay current with Apple platform changes and adopt new APIs where they add real value
- Mentor future iOS hires as the team grows
Who You Are
- 5 or more years of professional experience building and shipping native iOS applications
- Strong proficiency in Swift and SwiftUI, with solid knowledge of UIKit
- Experience with iOS app architecture patterns, including state management and navigation
- Comfort working with REST APIs, JSON, and asynchronous networking
- Experience shipping apps through the App Store, including review, TestFlight, and release processes
- Familiarity with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and a strong sense of product craft
- Experience with performance profiling and debugging tools like Instruments
- Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment with shifting priorities
- Strong ownership mentality, from architecture decisions to shipped features
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across design, product, and backend
- Genuine excitement about AI and its impact on how marketing teams work
- Growth mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity and rapid change

Which visas can work for this job
Occupation: Software Developers (SOC 15-1252).
- Mentioned in the listing
H-1B
- H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
- TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Computer Systems Analyst (or Engineer, for engineering-degree holders)” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
- E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
- O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
- STEM OPT extension (F-1 students)
Requires an E-Verify employer. We didn't find this company in the E-Verify list — ask HR.
- Green card (EB-2 / EB-3 via PERM)
Filed 1 PERM labor certification: they have a track record of sponsoring permanent residence.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Level IV (fully competent)Software Developers · United States (national median of areas). Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $79,290 | ~15% |
| Level II | $100,152 | ~31% |
| Level III | $120,422 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $141,190 | ~61% |
This job pays $160,000–$230,000 a year — that's Level IV (fully competent). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level IV registration gets 4 entries; estimated selection chance about 61% — better than average.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
